Earth to Calm

[00:32.96] This velvet-lined silver box
[00:36.78] Rests with me around the clock
[00:40.16] Through colored glass, a piercing dawn
[00:44.25] Through broken glass I watch the night fall
[00:56.13] Conflict looms in a blood-red sky
[00:59.44] A child cries seeking mother's eyes
[01:03.00] Just a fleeting sound of silence plays
[01:07.28] The day must end praying on your knees
[01:26.54] Tired of waiting for the earth to calm
[01:30.39] We huddle together and pray for no harm
[01:33.93] The flickering light signals the alarm
[01:42.58] Oh, please don't let it be me
[01:48.71] Oh, please don't let it be me
[02:12.46] Trying hard to stay awake
[02:15.46] I'm running fast, trying to make the last gate
[02:19.66] But lo and behold here I stand
[02:22.83] Out of time with my head in my hands
[02:35.35] The sweat runs down my desperate face
[02:38.44] I'm stumbling on my old rotten legs
[02:42.32] The heavy winds build strong their walls
[02:46.54] Push me back, no joy at all, at all
[03:05.90] Tired of waiting for the earth to calm
[03:08.80] We huddle together and pray for no harm
[03:12.91] The flickering light signals the alarm
[03:20.12] Oh, please don't let it be me
[03:27.73] Oh, please don't let it be me
[03:43.49]
